'Hi~! Anne! '
'How are you doing lately? I haven't heard from you for several days. I thought you were killed! '
A certain Scapular Warrior had just connected to the communication with Anne, and he said in a mocking tone unscrupulously.
"You were just killed!!"
(??????????)
Sure enough, Annie knew that this annoying guy would definitely say things that made her unhappy. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she still had a little bit of free time, she wouldn't have connected to the other party's communication. Woolen cloth!
'Is such that……'
'I have found the racing car you asked me to find, a motorcycle from Final Fantasy, a fast and good-looking motorcycle. However, I have asked about the price. The profiteer from the Fans Alliance may have asked for a price that is a bit exaggerated. It is higher than its price. The actual value is several times higher. Do you need to come back to see the goods first? '
'Don't worry, I know you have a problem with their fan alliance guild, so I asked the guy named Tommy Zeng to go back first, and I won't let you two meet. If you like it, I will pay for the goods in two days. he. '
In the neural connection center of Pandora's submarine base, little Annie was sitting on the edge of her dormant chamber-like synchronized neural connector, dangling her legs while using the translucent holographic virtual communication system in front of her to communicate with someone. 'Shoulder Blade Warrior' was talking.
Judging from the fact that the researchers walking around turned a blind eye, it is not difficult to analyze that these NPCs must have some shielding functions and will definitely not actively interfere with the players' communication and operation of the game panel. of.
"How quickly did you find it?"
(°ー°〃)
"But, I am very busy now, and I can't go back for the time being. Otherwise... you can just let me decide. Don't worry, I will definitely not miss your money!"
(^_??)☆
At this time, Annie, who is having fun in the underwater world of Pandora, will go back easily? Therefore, she directly rejected the other party's proposal.
Anyway, before completing this journey to Pandora, she will definitely not go back, no matter what it is!
Moreover, when she heard the other party talking about the 'fans alliance' just now, her heart skipped a beat! Because she still remembers... If she calculated the time correctly, their gaming guild seems to be preparing to arrive at Pandora in the next two days. By then, it will probably be a super troublesome thing. She must You need to make some preparations early.
??乛??乛??
For example, tell Uncle Parker Selfridge harshly in advance about those bad guys who do all kinds of evil, are full of evil, have no conscience, do whatever they want, and specialize in bullying such a well-behaved, smart, innocent and cute little girl like her. Talking bad about guys?
(…)
(￣??￣;)
'ah? What did you say, you won't come back for a while? ! '
'etc! '
'Are you... in a certain copy? '
'Wow! Boy, is that some closed copy? Can you tell me a little bit about whether the rate of return is high? ! '
After hearing what Little Annie said impatiently, and then seeing some scenes and many NPCs behind Little Annie from the dialog box, a certain 'Scapular Warrior' Edge with a super sensitive business sense hurriedly turned to the screen with a shy face. Come, and asked quietly.
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"It's useless, don't even think about it!"
(????ω????)
"Now this is an unexplored planet in Area 16. It is a closed dungeon not open to the public. My only coordinate scroll was used when I came here. Even if I tell you now that this is Pandora, you are sure You can’t come!”
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Of course Anne knew what bad ideas the other party had, so she told the truth directly and completely cut off some of the other party's unrealistic thoughts.
'Is that Pandora from Avatar? '
'Wait a minute, let me check...'
After hearing the other party say the name 'Pandora', Scapular Warrior Edge quickly used the search function in 'Oasis' to search.
'Avatar...'
'There doesn't seem to be any particularly valuable artifact there, but the AMP exoskeleton system, that is, the augmented mobile platform, seems to be quite valuable. Although it is an old model, it has quite strong firepower. You can pay attention to it... .'
'Also, the superconducting ore there is very valuable, very valuable! It is an indispensable super material for manufacturing and repairing large spaceships and upgrading the engines of some important battleships. It also has a wide range of other uses. Maybe you can give it a try? '
The Scapular Warrior Edge, who knew from a few words what kind of dungeon Little Annie was in, checked and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he began to raise his eyebrows and wink at Little Annie, trying hard to make suggestions, and gave guidance as soon as he opened his mouth. She went to get the more valuable things.
"Superconducting ore?"
(lll￢▽￢)
"There are indeed a lot of those things here, but people can't take them randomly, because once someone discovers them, they will be kicked out by Uncle Parker!"
(????ˇ??ˇ????)
Actually, Anne has done a lot of robbing players and NPCs. It’s not like she can’t just steal all the boxes of superconducting ores in the base. Otherwise, , can her bounty accumulate to that high?
only……
Her spaceship has been scrapped, so she can't just grab something and run away, and she has a good relationship with Uncle Parker Selfridge now. She doesn't want to just take it without the other person's consent. It's the same thing as other people's things, even if it's just a game.
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Sure enough, when playing this 'Oasis' VR game, you can't have too many acquaintances, even NPCs. Otherwise, the experience of the game will be greatly reduced, and you will become hesitant even when doing some unreasonable things. It’s not interesting at all!
(…)
(；??????)
'a lot of? ! '
'Really? '
'How about you take some back and give it to me? '
'ah? No? '
'What a pity... If I were there, I would take away everything I could see, and then... I wouldn't care about the life and death of those NPCs! '
'Little guy, I'm telling you...'
Scapular Warrior Edge began to say some nonsense that made Anne's head full of black lines. So, not wanting to be affected by the other party, she turned her head directly and watched the researchers busy back and forth in the neural link center. I didn't mean to listen seriously at all.
'All right! '
'Annie, then I really placed an order for you and got that scooter? '
'the day after tomorrow……'
'It should be 12:00 noon the day after tomorrow, and the Easter egg hunting competition will start again. Are you really not going to come back to participate? '
After muttering random words for a while, seeing that Edge could not persuade him to do that kind of thing of robbing NPCs, he had to suddenly change the subject and ask a certain little girl about the event that he wanted to participate in before. Easter egg contest thing.
"Time is too tight, I won't go for now!"
o(??^｀)o
"Anyway, those idiots will definitely not be able to win. I am not in a hurry. It will be the same if I go next week!!"
(????ω????)
After looking at the time on the watch-like communicator on her wrist for the second time, Anne very 'tactfully' conveyed a message to the other party again, that is: if you have anything to say, speak quickly, and then After you finish speaking, get out of here as soon as possible, and don’t disturb her with trivial matters while she is brushing copies and playing! !
She can't wait to ride her big shark into the deep sea of Pandora!
Moreover, she also discovered an important way to make a fortune, which is to find the treasures in Pandora's deep sea, such as pearls or special corals and ores.
She definitely cannot take the superconducting ores in this base and has no authority to take them. However, if it is the ores outside and she breaks or knocks off a few pieces, then there must be no problem, right?
'Too……'
'It's been five years, and no one has found a single key. The game of finding Halliday Easter eggs is definitely not that easy... Well, then I won't participate this time. I will continue to go to the Death Planet in Area 12. Earn a little money and remember to send me a summons when you come back? '
'That's it, goodbye little one! '
After saying that, the Scapular Warrior Edge, who knew that he was already a bit annoying, quickly said a few words and then stretched out his hand to close and end the communication between the two parties.
"..."
Beep! ??????(＿＿*)????
"Really, it takes a long time to talk about even the smallest things. Fortunately, I didn't bring him here, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death!!"
??(????0`??)??
After stretching and seeing that everyone else around her was already lying in the Synchronous Neural Linker to control those Avatars to go out to sea for testing and training, Annie quickly lay down in her own Synchronous Neural Linker, and then let the people next to her The researcher NPC came over and helped her cover the linker cover.
…
"Yoho~!"
ε=ε=????????(((????qu??)??o
Annie drove her royal mount, the Pandora deep-sea phosphorescent shark, and rushed out from the sea gate of the base. The bursts of water brought by it made those who could only adapt to the environment in the offshore sea, The 'Avatars', including a certain Uncle Parker, could only watch her leave with envy.
But there is no way. They don't have their own mounts, so they definitely can't go too far from the base. They can only rely on breathing and local anti-pressure equipment and the Avatar's strong body with natural carbon fiber in its bones to survive a thousand miles under the sea with difficulty. I am getting used to it little by little at this depth of meters!
However, the base is now developing a self-powered pressure-resistant skateboard equipped with breathing Pandora high-pressure air tanks and weapons to improve their mobility in the deep sea? But no matter what, it is said that the thing that is still being tested, whether in terms of flexibility, speed, or maneuverability, is definitely unable to compare with Annie's method of directly neurally linking with Pandora's deep-sea phosphorescent shark. of.
"..."
??(????▽??)??
Annie didn't care what those stupid guys thought. After controlling her big fish mount to swim away from the base for a while, she headed towards a beautiful place below with huge seabed corals and biota, as well as a A large group of silver stars looked like a vast collection of stars rushing down the underwater canyon where the small fishes were.
"Wow!"
??(????????)??
Because Annie is currently riding Pandora's deep-sea phosphorescent shark, which is good at hunting, when she gets closer, the dense silver light spots below that were originally gathered together split into two pieces at an extremely fast speed. The speed opened the way for her and her mount, allowing her to slowly swim forward along the dotted silver passage like a queen who was out of the palace for inspection.
However, neither Annie nor her big fish paid attention to them because they were too small and too flexible to catch, so she would not waste time catching them!
far away,
A colorful humpback bass, with its brilliant white light and dots of black spots, swam leisurely towards Annie, but neither Annie nor the Pandora shark under her wanted to catch it. What it means... Through the spiritual connection with Pandora's deep-sea phosphorescent shark, Annie knows that the fish spines on the other party's fins are highly poisonous. If it is accidentally stung, something big will happen. There are no predators in the sea. One is willing to mess with that thing.
"Eh?"
∑(??△｀)? !
I was swimming slowly along the bottom of the trench, looking at the beautiful starfish, corals, colorful seaweeds, seashells or molluscs of various colors, all of which were glowing. I looked around to see if there was anything strange about them. Annie, who was looking at the thing, suddenly saw a huge flat disc swimming slowly above her, with a long slender tail attached to the kelp, and the huge thing that flickered in and out of sight as she inhaled and exhaled seawater.
That is Pandora's deep-sea red stingray. Its body plate is tens or even tens of meters long. It can be regarded as one of the behemoths in the ocean of Pandora. It looks like a big pot lid, and it comes in all colors! Anne also had the intention of catching the other person as a mount, but she had to give up the idea after seeing that the other person swam very slowly and seemed not as fast as herself.
"..."
(??????｀??)????*¨*??.???????
Gulu...Gulu...
I don’t know how long it took, but Anne, with bubbles popping up from time to time between her mouth and nose, was wandering happily in this deep sea canyon, in this dreamy underwater dream world that exuded colorful light, She completely forgot what she should do or need to do when she came to this Pandora planet, and just played by herself.
Sometimes he would grab a slimy, unknown colorful luminous mollusc and photograph himself and his shark, disguising himself and his mount as a moving coral reef; sometimes he would pull at a certain unlucky large shell. , after pulling out the software inside and feeding it to his shark, he put the naturally luminous colorful nut on his head to serve as a helmet...
Then, it didn't take long for her to gather herself a set of colorful armor and shields made of shells of various sizes. She even broke off a well-proportioned piece of coral and inserted it into a sharp and slender cone snail to serve as a shield. The lances began to drive away those innocent fish in the trench unscrupulously.
"Alas?!"
!(;??o??)o
Suddenly, Annie quickly stopped playing, and the big fish that controlled her hid beside the coral reef and hid motionlessly.
Because at this time, she saw two Shark Knights just like her swimming in the distance? However, the costumes and weapons of the two knights above were completely different from the Avatars she knew, and they were obviously not from their side.
"..."
|??˙??˙)?
"Way? Base? I found two Shark Knights. They seem to be swimming towards your base. Have you seen them?"
(??`▽????)??.
It was not convenient to speak in the water, so Anne quickly tapped on the virtual screen and keyboard of the instrument on her wrist, and soon sent an alarm to the base's dispatch center.
'Base received! '
'The ultrasonic radar has detected the opponent, please keep your distance and don't be discovered by them! '
'complete! '
"All right….."
(??????????)
Anne originally wanted to swim up and say hello, but after hearing the reply from the base, she had to follow far behind, almost swimming close to the seabed. With the colorful underwater world and those on her body 'Disguise' to avoid the other party's sight that may find you.
However, because she wanted to remain hidden, she was not as fast as the two Shark Knights, so she was quickly left behind by the other party, and they were completely invisible...
"Really..."
s (????ˇεˇ????)ゞ
"What are you doing so fast?"
(??╭╮??)
Annie, who had completely lost her target and had no idea where the other party had gone, complained angrily for a while, then she had no choice but to pull the braid of the nerve connection of the shark mount she was sitting on, causing it to accelerate and continue to cling to Colorful. The dazzling seabed was camouflaged, and then rushed back towards the base as fast as possible.
'not good! '
'They've been discovered! ! '
Surprisingly, before Annie could move forward very far, she suddenly heard an exclamation from someone unknown coming from the communicator in her ear.
'Notice! '
'All Avatars will take cover immediately and are strictly prohibited from returning to base! '
'repeat! '
'All Avatars will immediately hide on the spot and are strictly prohibited from returning or exposing the location of the base! ! '
'...'
